Raptor Jesus went extinct for your sins.

I went rollerskating tonight once the weather had stopped being horrid, ( I swear I'm moving to Finland when I grow up) there was this nice yet ominous breeze that gave off a bit of an end-of-the-world vibe, and about time really. Not sure if I'm kidding about that. The stupid skanky people down the road were playing these awful late-90's songs. Guys, just because it's the end of the decade doesn't mean you have to use the same playlist from the end of the last decade.
Today's heat made me very lazy but I ended up having a nice lazy day, as opposed to a gross lazy hot day where you sit in front of fans with nothing to do. I got a great book called Factory which I am reading voraciously not that I really know what that means. It's about Factory Records, the Manchester label that Joy Division and later New Order were signed to. Music history really fascinates me actually, I used to hate factual books but only because I never read any on a topic that I absolutely love. I've been reading a lot of books on 20th century Art too and it's really so interesting, especially Dadaism and Surrealism and of course Pop Art, gee I sound pretentious. I'm not trying to. I also watched Coraline and Ghost World, both were excellent, but I did enjoy Ghost World the most. The characters are so relatable. (Don't know if this is good or bad)
Coraline was so surreal and creepy and unlike anything I've really seen before and I need to not forget to buy it, :D!
Next Tuesday I'm staying by the sea with my dear friend Maggie so that should be nice.
Tomorrow I shall probably do some shopping with Christmas money. I've decided that when I run out of money I'll immediatley apply for a job, I dunno where. The comic book shop would be cool, or a record store or somewhere that I'd actually want to go to. I can't see me cheerily turning up to McDonalds and jauntily hopping into my stupid uniform especially not for six dollars an hour. I'd have to resist the urge not to answer people's orders like Enid in Ghost World:
Customer: "Hi, can I get a medium 7-Up?"
Enid:"Medium? Why sir, did you know that for a mere 25 cents more you can purchase a large beverage? And you know... I'm only telling you this because we're such good friends: Medium is really only for suckers who don't know the meaning of value."
Uh, here's a little internet cartoon that I found to be quite amusing a few months ago that is now festering in the My Pictures folder, blablablah, I talk/write too much.


Anyway happy new year, like, kind of, even though I hate it.
